I have a Acer Aspire E1-510P-2671, I am trying to use a program called BlueStacks (Android Emulator) and it is repeatedly informing me that the program would work better with the CPU VT enabled. After installing Intel's processor checker(?) and finding out that the CPU dose have the capability to do so (according to that program), I follow the steps I find online repeatedly but the BIOS I am pulling up appears to be simplified? how do you pull up a full BIOS screen or how can I enable this?

    Virtualization (Hyper V or Intel VT) - Acer generally has virtualization enabled. The requirements for virtualization include a Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise OS which means it will not work on most OEM Operating Systems. You can use the links below for additional information on virtualization.
    How to determine if my system supports virtualization and install Hyper-V

    Use the steps below to confirm if Virtualization Technology is available on your system:
    Press Ctrl + Alt + Del.
    Select Task Manager.
    Click the Performance tab.
    Click CPU.
    The status will be listed under the graph and will say "Virtualization: Enabled" if this feature is enabled.

    I did find a way to enable the VT on my acer, i had to disable the hyper v threw a admin command prompt, then i removed the emulator i was using (bluestacks) and tried to use another (Nox) well Nox asked the same thing that bluestacks did however Nox offerd a quick fix, the computer command prompt came up real quick and after the computer restarted the VT had been activated. basically i used Nox to activate the VT and reinstalled Bluestacks. round about way i suppose, got lucky. thank you for your answer. the problem is both VT and Hyper V are active from what i understand and if you disable one the other will take over (?). anywho, i did get the problem fixed
